I prefer me some C2H5OH, thanks

Can only agree. Cars don’t belong in the city. They’re loud, polluting, take up unnecessary space, kill walkers and bicyclists, and so on.

Well, I dunno, I’ve lived there. But ok, just ignore it from someone who has experienced it themselves…

yeah mate, and you only mentioned the “waterfall” part afterward.

anyway, i might be crazy but calling others “cunts” while the others don’t insult you – who then is the obnoxious one? I ain’t calling names… nobody is attacking you, only your arguments.

you’re not in control of the supply lmao, the oil and coal companies are

i’m talking about you, just in case you didn’t know that

if like birdwing says that switzerland can do it in rural areas too, then others can do so too

this dude emanates mad toxic insecure energy fr

Your option sucks more though, you can’t go there if your fuel runs out. You have to pay and maintain your car for a cost much higher… also, that’s pretty damn rude bro.

Guy who bullied me constantly, calling me slurs and all that. I swore I would take revenge, and broke his jaw. He pretty much stopped after that.

I suppose they meant the fascists or liberals who think the US at some point ever really was benevolent.

IMHO, the closest it came was during Teddy Roosenvelt’s trust busting campaign, but still. The US is a capitalist project through and through. Being well-off I refuse to finance such a project. We shall crush capitalism through itself.

I’m not sure whether to be impressed or disappointed with your knowledge.

… seeing as it doesn’t hurt, I suppose the former.

For people in the Netherlands and Belgium: Bol.com.

For elsewhere: AliExpress, Temu, Vinted (European).

For more specialised services:

Furniture: IKEA (Swedish)
Clothes: Zalando (German)
Food delivery: Jumia (German), HelloFresh (German).

Generally, it’s best to buy directly from the companies themselves. Buy from small or mid-sized companies. You’ll skip on the high prices that way, as there’s no markup. Additionally, since you are not one of millions of consumers - but one of a few hundred, they will care more about you.

I’d have put not 100 million $, but $ 1.5 million (including bonuses) above the lowest earners in the country, pacing with inflation but never more than it. It’s the amount you’d need to live purely on interest.

This would have as compounded effect that the rich would actually for once be motivated to raise the wages of their employees, if they wanted higher wages themselves.

Other than that, all agree.

Not with that spirit. It’s a warning:

“If you don’t stop and get off your mighty throne now, we will take matters in our hands, taking democracy back to the American people”.

The USA. Even if it hadn’t gone on its path of fascism, I disliked being treated as a potential terrorist at the airport. I didn’t even ‘look’ brown, Muslim, or anything they would’ve disliked (and even if I did, or anyone else; the fact that they are that racist is a monument to their patheticness). Hell, in American terms I’d have been considered a Rockefeller Republican. And even then one couldn’t pay me my weight worth in gold to return to that shithole.

Having to wait 3.5 hrs without toilet break before being let into the country ON ARRIVAL? Being fingerprinted?

The museums there were also nationalistic as fuck, which I disliked.

And having to wear a helmet when bicycling? Fuck you, USA.

Aside from that, I think for future destinations, I’d also skip Egypt, Israel, and most of the Middle East save for Lebanon.

Oh, and Hungary too except for the Pride March to give a middle finger to Orban. He’s a Russian puppet bootlicker, in my view.

I disagree. I’m very well off, cishet, white, fairly traditional – and would never consider living in the USA. It’s a country for and by egoistic people, not for families of all kinds. To me, it might as well be a fourth world country masking as a first world country.

For some extra existential crisis, consider this.

In 1x10¹⁰^56 years, a new big bang could occur in the universe, through quantum tunneling.

If you multiply that with all possible ways in which all subatomic particles in the observable universe could be arranged (1x¹⁰^115), that might be a possible timeframe for a new universe exactly like ours.

That is, a universe in where you posted that comment, and I’m writing this right now. Maybe we’re doing that a few seconds differently, but overall it’s the same universe.
